Grimes is someone who uses his pure athleticism to play the game. Right now he's turning 30 and coming of a big injury. IMO it's a bit risky paying him if he can't stay on the field or doesn't recover as we hope he does. Still, it doesn't appear he is interested in coming back as he's visiting other teams.

Rhodes- Love his size and playmaking skills on the ball. Great tackler and physical corner. Dont think he gets past Miami or Tampa though.

Trufant- Athletic guy, return skills and great speed. Like him a lot as well just like Rhodes size more is why he has the edge. Also dont see him making it to 30.

Okafor- the only DE that I see that will value around 30 and fit our scheme. After watchin some game film and senior bowl film I like this guy. Has a great bull rush and 2 solid moves as well. I'd like to trade down to the 40ish range but if we like him enough Id be happy with it.

Other than that, at 30, and to fill our biggest needs I just dont see anyone else fitting our schemes.

Not a huge fan but that was when he WAS considered the top prospect. I would still take him in ATL any day.

I wouldnt at all personally and that was before his bad times. Just every time I watched him at UGA he just never wowed me. Just seemd like a player that was the beniffited from being in the right place at the right time, not that its a bad thing but alot of his stats to me dont reflect what I actually saw.

I know it isnt fair to compare him to Clowney, but watchin them play Jones isnt even in the same world as Clowney in any category (not that many would be) but if you are supposed to be a lock for a top 3 pick you better be close and to me he isnt at all.

A more recent prospect that is doing well that I can think of is Justin Houston from UGA. Fell in the draft due to character concerns but the guy is playing great. Same build as Jones and played the same position. The main difference, and to me its a big one, is speed. At 245 lbs and you only run a 4.92 thats a problem, especially since hes not a strong overpowering guy.

I mean, Jesse Williams at 325 lbs ran as fast if not faster at his pro day. I know its not game speed but still, dude has had forever to work on this and post a good time. to this date that was the most important day of his life when it comes to his future. He was a lock for a top 3 spot if he runs in the 4.6-4.7 range. Now he could slide to late 20's. I just always hate when players do this, Julio managed to run a 4.3 with a broken foot. So I dont really acknowledge whatever excuse he has.
